Vorsteiner has officially thrown down the gauntlet in the EV styling arena with their new aero-carbon program for the Tesla Model S Plaid.

This latest offering from the California-based aftermarket tuner infuses the already impressive electric sedan with an extra dose of style and aerodynamic efficiency.

A Symphony of Carbon Fiber

The newly launched kit includes a slew of carbon fiber components such as side skirts, a decklid spoiler, rear diffuser, bumper flares, a front spoiler, and an elegantly crafted hood. Finished with a naked and glossy look, these parts not only add a hint of aggressiveness but also ensure improved aerodynamics and a subtle touch of sophistication.

Merging Aesthetics and Aerodynamics

In contrast to Unplugged Performance's Dark Knight trim, Vorsteiner's creations are designed to harmonize with the Model S Plaid's original lines, optimizing airflow without compromising the vehicle's innate design ethos. Their forged wheel catalog—a veritable storm of choices—boasts various sizes and styles, including homage to classic wheel designs, with the carbon series wheels setting a premium at 20,000 USD per set.

Pricing Strategy

While Vorsteiner has not disclosed the full pricing for the complete aerodynamic program, individual component costs are listed on their official website. The lineup is led by the carbon fiber hood at 4,695 USD, with the substantial rear diffuser following at 3,695 USD.

The Vorsteiner Edge

Brought to life by the visionary behind Gunther Werks, Vorsteiner prides itself on utilizing aerospace autoclave systems to craft their carbon fiber elements, ensuring unparalleled rigidity. They employ a pre-impregnated fiber material in a vacuum, resulting in a product that's 30% stiffer than traditional wet-layup carbon fiber.

Anticipation and Delivery

Prospective buyers will need to exercise patience, with a lead time of 6 to 8 weeks for the final product. However, as seen with similar kits on vehicles like the BMW M2, the wait promises to be well worth it for those eager to transform their Model S Plaid into an even more distinctive machine.
